Its the end of this World (Age of Pisces) and the beginning of the next World (Age of Aquarious/the Water Bringer) it'll be a "New Age" if you will.

New Orleans, Sandy, Sunami in Japan & the Indian Ocean are just the beginning. Our present modern systems, laws, commerce, civilization as a whole, will have to be started anew. Between now and then will be a bitch to deal with.
